Once you let one thing go, you would theoretically lose the rest so it was definitely important we stood our ground and defenseless coutries' ground to ensure no one could make a democratic country a communist country.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-44250114965287227152015-10-19T16:56:05.730-07:002015-10-19T16:56:05.730-07:00I don't understand why the government would li...I don't understand why the government would lie about that. They may have done that to try to find a reason to send troops to Vietnam.

The U.S. went into Cuba when communism was taking over and the Soviet <br />Union was teamed up with them. The U.S. got in arms race with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. There was never a shot fired but the tension between the two was crazy and many expected the world to be in chaos with nuclear bombs being launched.

If I were a citizen, especially close to the Vietnam region I would be concerned about it taking over my country. However, as an American citizen during that time I would also be upset that we are involving ourselves in a war that has nothing to do with us. jireh.whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285555501331474734noreply@blogger.com
